MCU: Every Final Battle Ranked From Worst To Best

15. Spider-Man: Homecoming

Avengers Endgame Ending
Marvel Studios

The wall-crawler's first MCU outing doesn't have a massive battle. In fact, as with previous entries on this list, there's hardly a fight at all.

Adrian Toomes aka Vulture attempts a heist on Tony Stark's plane, but he's foiled by Peter, and they cause the plane to crash. They duke it out a little among the wreckage on the beach with Toomes gaining the upper hand, but he ultimately tosses Peter aside to steal surviving cargo.

However, his damaged wings fail, and he nearly dies in the fire before Peter rescues him and leaves him to be captured by the authorities.

There's not really much excitement to be had in this climax, but what works here is Peter's honor in saving and sparing Toomes instead of leaving him to die. The villains in Marvel movies are almost always killed by the heroes or as a result of their own actions, so it was a nice change of pace to see Spider-Man spare Vulture, but not let him escape.

It's just a shame that it's so skimpy on action.
